Abstract
Genetic evidence may indicate the gut-brain axis contributes to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Alterations in gut microbiota are associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
- Inflammation is a key factor in the development of these diseases.
- Understanding the genetic basis could reveal mechanisms linking gut microbes to neurodegeneration.
- Cytokines may play a role in the connection between gut health and brain function.
